1. What is the biggest adventure you have ever been on?
At 19 years old (1986) me and a friend took a bus from Chicago to LA to join a band. The band didn't work out so we were living on Santa Monica beach for a few weeks surviving on rice and other scraps of food that we bought from busking. We finally had enough and decided to join the military. I had already been recruited by the Air Force, but they wanted 4 years out of me and I only wanted 2 years in. We decided on joining the Army using the 'Buddy System' for 2 years, but my friend had no HS diploma so we both had to join for 3, which that extra year would be spent for his studying and passing the HS equivalent exam. We decided on our MOS's and then we were off. That would be the last time I would ever see my friend again until years later when were both much older. I ended up going to Germany and having the time of my life. That was one hell of an adventure. 2. What religion were you brought up as, and do you still adhere to it? Ew. 3. What’s the craziest thing you ever did with your hair? I had a perm in the 70's. It was all the rage. 4. If you had the chance, whose life would you like to live for a week (can be someone alive or dead, famous or not, either gender)? Me at 19 again. 5. What hope do you see for the future? Being a home owner. 6. What is the most boring book you ever read, or tried to read? Pragmatic Philosophy by Amelie Rorty. OK, settle down meatbags: here are the real questions.. 1. Wish you were here? 2. How soon is now? 3. How long has this been going on? 4. What time is it? 5. Why do fools fall in love? 6. What’s the big idea? Wish you were soon going on time is fall in the big idea.

1. What is the biggest adventure you have ever been on?
It involved a lot of not legal stuff that I probably shouldn't get into. 2. What religion were you brought up as, and do you still adhere to it? Performatively christian, now I performatively worship myself. 3. What’s the craziest thing you ever did with your hair? Growing it out I guess. 4. If you had the chance, whose life would you like to live for a week (can be someone alive or dead, famous or not, either gender)? John McAfee 5. What hope do you see for the future? Some of my **** published. 6. What is the most boring book you ever read, or tried to read? I'm down with the goings on of Wuthering Heights but the style is so dull, I just can't do it. Lippmann's Public Opinion is mind numbing and full of useless neoliberalisms, so that tops it.

1. What is the biggest adventure you have ever been on?
Military school. 2. What religion were you brought up as, and do you still adhere to it? None. Still adhere. 3. What’s the craziest thing you ever did with your hair? Grew it down past my shoulders and then cut it all off and went cueball. 4. If you had the chance, whose life would you like to live for a week (can be someone alive or dead, famous or not, either gender)? Probably some problematic British adventurer in the 1800s mapping Africa for future colonization. I mean **** those guys but what a life. 5. What hope do you see for the future? Maybe we'll notice some asteroid coming to wipe out all life in six months and the global perspective shift will lead to the best six months the human race ever had. 6. What is the most boring book you ever read, or tried to read? Atlas Shrugged.

]1. What is the biggest adventure you have ever been on?
I once did 2 hits of LSD, smoked 6 bowls of hydroponic weed, and did 6 shots of whiskey. Pretty sure I went to another universe entirely for a while. 2. What religion were you brought up as, and do you still adhere to it? Protestant/Catholic, and definitely not. 3. What’s the craziest thing you ever did with your hair? Uuuhhh....I went to a Watain concert, and got pig's blood in my hair. Does that count?? 4. If you had the chance, whose life would you like to live for a week (can be someone alive or dead, famous or not, either gender)? Nobodies. Most people have ****ty lives, even famous people, even the people I take most of my creative influences from, and even the people and artists that I don't even like. 5. What hope do you see for the future? Perhaps a new Pre-Cambrian Era in a time after humans. 6. What is the most boring book you ever read, or tried to read? The Notebook. 1. Wish you were here? Where is "here?" 2. How soon is now? Right now, in this moment. 3. How long has this been going on? Too goddamn long... 4. What time is it? 10:38 A.M. -5 EST 5. Why do fools fall in love? Either because they are children and don't know any better, or because they haven't taken the imitative to make introspection a deeper priority. 6. What’s the big idea? Pros: Nothing exists. Cons: Nothing exists.

Trip to Shanghai. 2. What religion were you brought up as, and do you still adhere to it? Raised Roman Catholic – don’t adhere. 3. What’s the craziest thing you ever did with your hair? Nothing crazy - I have boring hair and have had basically the same hairstyle all my life (maybe I overmilked the milkmaid braids look too far into my 20s). 4.

There is always hope. “Everything will turn out right in the end – the world is built on that.” – Mikhail Bulgakov 6. What is the most boring book you ever read, or tried to read? Tess of the d’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. The relentless bleakness, sadness and landscape descriptions wore me out. OK, settle down meatbags: here are the real questions.. 1. Wish you were here? I wish Syd were here. 2. How soon is now? William, it was really nothing. 3. How long has this been going on? Since 02-09-2008, the first 6-pack. 4. What time is it? 6:05 PM EST 5.

1. What is the biggest adventure you have ever been on?
I solo tripped Europe in 2016. Had an 8 hour layover in Oslo, grabbed a beer with Goofle in Manchester, tried haggis in Edinburgh, walked the wall in Belfast, talked to a racist drunk in Carlisle at 2am, drank with Swedish college girls in Dublin, hated almost everything about London, loved almost everything about Amsterdam, visited the beaches of Normandy, randomly ended up in Rouen, recovered in an apartment style rental in Bordeaux, ate pinxos in San Sebastien, explored the guts of an old church in Salamanca, walked the beaches of A Coruña, had a whole house to myself in Porto, almost got beat up by drug dealers in Lisobon, ate a lot of halal in Valencia, played ping pong in Barcelona, watch the Irish and Polish (Euro Cup) take over Nice, got claustrophobia in a tower in Florence, threw up over a balcony in Rome, and, finally, saw the Louvre in Paris. 2. What religion were you brought up as, and do you still adhere to it? Had my Catholic communion and then basically never wanted anything to do with religion since. I'm agnostic now and it'll stay that way. 3. What’s the craziest thing you ever did with your hair? I have never had a crazy haircut. Never dyed. It was pretty long once. 4. If you had the chance, whose life would you like to live for a week (can be someone alive or dead, famous or not, either gender)? Hemingway during one of his best weeks. 5. What hope do you see for the future? Stop having babies and we'll see if we all survive. 6. What is the most boring book you ever read, or tried to read? Honestly, Siddhartha. Same goes for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I'm just not interested in Eastern philosophy I guess. |
